OUTSIDE FINISH "FOR FRAME HOUSES.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 24, 1921.

Application filed March 26, 1920. Serial No. 368,913.

1 '0 all whom it may concern.

, Be it known that I, JOHN BUDINIoH, a citizen of Croatia, residing at West New York, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Outside Finish for Frame Houses; and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings and the characters of reference marked thereon, to beva full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this application, and represents a perspective view, partly in section, illustrating a sheet of outside finish for frame houses constructed in accordance with my invention.

This invention relates to an improvement in outside finish for frame houses, the object being to provide a material which may be formed in large sheets readily applied, andwhen applied will bethoroughly weatherproof and exclude both heat and cold; and the invention consists in the construction as hereinafter described and particularly recited in the claim.

In carrying out my invention, I form sheets, preferably about four feet by three feet, each sheet comprising a layer of buildingor tar-paper 2, upon which is superimposed a layer of hair felt 3, over which is placed a layer of waterproofing material 4 such as asphalt or pitch mixed with granulated cork, sawdust, asbestos, or magnesia cement, to which may be added a relatively small quantity of Portland cement. It will be understood that this composition is applied in a heated state and may be thinned,

if necessary, with oil. sheet of wire lath.

The'sheet thus built up, is placed under sufiicient pressureto'harden in a flat conditlon and about two inches thick and to cause .the asphalt to unite with the other layers, the wire mesh being embedded in the asphalt and forming a surface to which the cement will adhere. These sheets are secured to the stu dding by wires or staples, and the joints between the plates filled with asphalt mixture so as to form an integral covering. The surface may then be finished in the usual manner or may be given a finishing surface in the mold.-

This covering is a non-conductor of both Over this is placed a heat and cold, and being formed in comparatively large sheets, is readily and rapidly applied, so as to greatly reduce the cost ofconstructionfand the use of boarding applied to the outside of, the frame is avoided.

I claim: An outside finish for frame houses comprising a composite sheet composed of a layer of paper, a layer of hair felt over the paper, a layer of waterproofing material over the felt, and a layer of wire lath over the waterproof material united to form an integral sheet of several distinct layers.

In testimony whereof, I have signed this specification in the presence of two sub-' scribing witnesses.
